Two consequential American votes

from 1 big thing Hosted by Axios

Members of Congress will meet today in a joint session to officially count electoral votes for the presidential election. This happens every four years after every presidential election. This year, it's getting much more attention because of the dozens of senators and House Republicans, planning to object to the electoral results from battleground States like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia. Plus, Mike Allen's takeaways from the Georgia Senate runoff. And, the cold war of disinformation. Guests: Harvard University constitutional law professor Noah Feldman, and Axios' Sara Fischer and Mike Allen. Credits: "Axios Today" is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries. The team includes Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Dan Bobkoff, Carol Wu, Cara Shillenn, Nuria Marquez Martinez, Naomi Shavin and Alex Sugiura. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
